Reviews...

“Like most of its northern European cousins, Norwegian fiddle music is based in rhythms of dance: faster tunes often sound a bit like the bright feeling of an Irish jig meeting with the melody lines of a German polka. There are slower, melodic waltzes in the Norwegian fiddle tradition also. Deborah Greenblatt offers a generous helping of both. Greenblatt is well qualified to set this music down in notation and arrangements that two players can easily understand. That’s not to say the tunes themselves are easy: some are quite straightforward, but there’s a good range of challenge, as well. Taking that idea further, this is part of a series of books of Norwegian Tunes for Two. These cover arrangements for the same tunes, in the same keys, for cello, bass, mandolin, and viola, so you can have quite a Norwegian-tune jam session with your friends who play other instruments if you like. More than four dozen tunes are presented, both well known and less familiar.”
